The LA Leakers bring you the next installment of their “audio-biography” mixtape series. What is an “audio-biography” mixtape? I’ll let Sour Milk tell is:

For those that don’t know, we do these projects called “audio-biographies” with artists which is basically a look behind the scenes of what went on making certain records. With this project, we sat down with the Clipse and they gave the history on some of their biggest records. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Thanks for taking the time to download! Shout to Steven Victor and Lulu! -@djsourmilk

It feels like Gang Starr is the purest group in hip-hop. They was shooting videos on the beach in the winter when the water was ice. Razor-blade music. A bunch of guys in front of the project steps. “Mass Appeal”, “Dwyck”, ‘Stick up kids just out to tax’ … It’s just so much, man. When Guru passed, and I’m hearing all these rumors, I just wanna kill everybody. I want to shoot the computer, cause I’m like, “No, this ain’t what we do when our legends, our icons, pass. We salute them. We don’t go for rumors; we salute these dudes.” He was an icon, man. It’s the purest group in hip-hop, in my opinion. DJ Premier, this guy is like a god, a walking god. Guru, he put it down legendary.Preemo, I was waiting for Preemo to give me a “Ten Crack Commandments” or a shoot em up, bang bang. He sent me the beat when Guru died — the day Guru died. It was a somber, sad beat. I knew where to go with it… I knew Preemo was hurting; I been through that with Pun. I knew how it felt. I had to pay homage and salute.

Cut Chemist, always known for challenging himself and pushing the barriers of DJ’ing, lets go of this new mix titled Sound of the Police. Inspired by African and South American music, Cut Chemist breaks down why this mix was his most complicated:

“This is the most complicated thing I’ve ever done,” he tells Spinner. “That’s saying a lot because I always try and challenge myself with complicated things. My last release I did with DJ Shadow was an eight-turntable and loop-pedal live mix CD. That was complicated, but for some reason, when I whittle things down to one turntable and a loop pedal and just myself, things got more complicated. Ironically, I try to simplify and it actually exponentially got more complicated. I don’t know what it is with me. I guess I like a challenge.”
